This application claims the priority benefit of Chinese Patent Application Serial Number 201810390476.9, filed on Apr. 27, 2018, the full disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to transmission methods and devices in wireless communication systems, and in particular to a communication method and a communication device supporting data transmission on unlicensed spectrum.

Related Art

In traditional 3^(rd) Generation Partner Project (3GPP) Long-term Evolution (LTE) systems, data transmission can only be performed on licensed spectrum, however, as business enlarges rapidly, especially in some cities and regions, licensed spectrum may hardly meet the requirements of increasing business. Therefore, communication on unlicensed spectrum in Release 13 and Release 14 is introduced into cellular systems and used for downlink and uplink data transmissions. In order to guarantee the compatibility with other access technologies on unlicensed spectrum, Listen Before Talk (LBT) is adopted by Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) of LTE to avoid interference caused by multiple transmitters occupying same frequency resources simultaneously. LBT types adopted by LTE uplink comprise Cat 2 and Cat 4, LBT Cat 2 includes initial Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) and only initial CCA within backoff duration, while LBT Cat 4 includes both initial CCA and backoff duration.

In 5G New Radio (NR) Access Technology Phase 1 system, considering that reception bandwidth of a terminal is limited, among other reasons, the concept of Bandwidth Part (BWP) is introduced to support multiple subcarrier spacings under one system bandwidth, which means when a cell has a Component Carrier (CC) with larger bandwidth, a base station can divide the larger CC into multiple BWPs to adapt to User Equipment (UE) with varying capabilities of reception bandwidth and transmission bandwidth. The BWP bandwidth can be configured in a flexible manner. When a UE with smaller bandwidth capability is in communication with a cell, the UE can only perform downlink reception or uplink transmission on BWPs with smaller bandwidth. When a UE with larger bandwidth capability is in communication with a cell, the UE can perform downlink reception or uplink transmission on BWPs with larger bandwidth. At present, as access technology relevant to unlicensed spectrum in 5G NR is under discussion, a relationship between LBT bandwidth and CC or between LBT bandwidth and BWP becomes a vital problem needed to be solved.

SUMMARY

The inventor has found through researches that in uplink transmissions on unlicensed spectrum in NR systems, how to increase chance of channel access and efficiency of realizing unlicensed spectrum resources shared by multiple transmitting nodes has become a significant problem that needs solving.

In view of the above problem, the present disclosure provides a solution. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the characteristics in the embodiments may be mutually combined if no conflict is incurred.

The present disclosure provides a method in a UE for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving first information, the first information is used for indicating K frequency sub-band(s), K is a positive integer;

performing a first access detection, or performing a second access detection; and

transmitting a first radio signal in a first frequency sub-band, or dropping transmission of the first radio signal in the first frequency sub-band;

wherein the first frequency sub-band comprises frequency domain resources occupied by the first radio signal; if the first frequency sub-band belongs to the K frequency sub-band(s) and time domain resources occupied by the first radio signal belong to a first time window, the first access detection is performed, the first access detection is used for determining whether the first radio signal is transmitted in the first frequency sub-band; otherwise, the second access detection is performed, the second access detection is used for determining whether the first radio signal is transmitted in the first frequency sub-band; detection time for the first access detection is less than that for the second access detection.

In one embodiment, a problem needed to be solved in the present disclosure is: when bandwidth of CC or BWP is larger, if LBT bandwidth is the same as bandwidth of CC or BWP, a larger LBT bandwidth may cause lower chance of channel access. To increase chance of channel access and more efficiently realize sharing of unlicensed spectrum resources by multiple transmitting nodes, choosing narrowband LBT (i.e., bandwidth is smaller than CC or BWP, or LBT bandwidth is smaller than transmission bandwidth of a radio signal) will increase the chance of channel access when meeting the condition that LBT bandwidth is in conformity with regulations (for example, 20 MHz for a carrier frequency of 5 GHz, 1 GHz for a carrier frequency of 60 GHz). Therefore, uplink transmission under narrowband LBT is an urgent problem to be solved.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a radio protocol architecture of a user plane and a control plane. In FIG. 3, the radio protocol architecture for a UE and a base station (gNB or eNB) is represented by three layers, which are a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3, respectively. The layer 1 (L1) is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of various PHY layers. The L1 is called PHY 301 in the present disclosure. The layer 2 (L2) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is in charge of the link between the UE and the gNB via the PHY 301. In the user plane, L2 305 comprises a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer 303 and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer 304. All the three sublayers terminate at the gNBs of the network side. Although not described in FIG. 3, the UE may comprise several higher layers above the L2 305, such as a network layer (i.e., IP layer) terminated at a P-GW 213 of the network side and an application layer terminated at the other side of the connection (i.e., a peer UE, a server, etc.).

The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides a header compression for a higher-layer packet so as to reduce a radio transmission overhead. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides security by encrypting a packet and provides support for UE handover between gNBs. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembling of a higher-layer packet, retransmission of a lost packet, and reordering of a packet so as to compensate the disordered receiving caused by HARQ.

In the control plane, the radio protocol architecture of the UE and the gNB is almost the same as the radio protocol architecture in the user plane on the PHY 301 and the L2 305, but there is no header compression for the control plane. The control plane also comprises a Radio Resource Control (RRC) sublayer 306 in the layer 3 (L3).
